I bought my first Contender about 20 years ago. It was the hunter package that came scoped with a 12" .44 magnum barrel. I eventually started hunting deer here in Ohio when they let us use pistols. That setup has taken a lot of deer over the years. Since then I have bought and sold several barrels. Here are some of them.
